Fulin was not sure whether Dorgon was guilty or not, but Jirgalang was definitely guilty.
It was already excessive enough that he had extended his hand to the two yellow flags, and now he was placing his own people in the imperial palace.
Just like what Dorgon said, if you can help him capture someone today, you might be able to help him assassinate the king tomorrow!
This touched Fulin's bottom line.
"Come here," Fulin said in a deep voice, "take Prince Zheng away for the time being and wait for his punishment."
He hasn't figured out how to deal with Jirgalang yet.
Jirgalang was both a prince of the Qing Dynasty and a general who led troops.
Needs to be handled with caution.
If we are not careful, there will be chaos inside and outside the court.
By then, let alone resisting the Ming army, we would be lucky if we could avoid falling apart.
While Fulin was speaking, Jirgalang took a step back and asked, "Your Majesty, do you really want to arrest me?"
"What else?" Fulin asked, "Aren't the things you did excessive enough?"
"Then how does the emperor intend to deal with me?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it after I think about it."
Think about it later?
Jirgalang sneered in his heart.
It will be too late by then!
According to previous experience, Hauge was dismissed from his post and imprisoned in his mansion simply because he was defeated in a battle.
Now, not only had he lost the battle, but he also had spies in the two yellow flags and the imperial palace.
The consequences will only be worse than Hauge's.
He knew very well how miserable Hauge's life was after being deposed.
I don't want to follow Hauge's old path.
So Jirgalang decided to...resist!
He was a great general of the Qing Dynasty and commanded a large number of troops.
He had prepared for today's court meeting long and hard in advance.
The purpose is to resist in extreme situations.
Jirgalang took a half step back and asked, "How will the emperor deal with me?"
"I said, I haven't thought about it yet." Fulin was a little helpless.
"Then I will wait outside the city until the emperor has made up his mind."
After saying this, Jirgalang turned around and walked out, and soon arrived outside the hall.
"Stop!" Dorgon yelled.
Jirgalang didn't listen at all and continued walking towards the palace gate.
Seeing this, the generals of the Zhenglan and Xianglan Banners had no choice but to follow them out.
The flag owner controls the lives and property of all the people in the flag.
As long as the flag owner wants, he can take their lives at any time.
Power is accountable only to the source of its power.
They have no choice but to safeguard the interests of the flag owner.
"Stop them!" Dorgon ordered.
Four guards quickly surrounded him.
Jirgalang's four guards immediately stepped forward.
The two sides first stared at each other, and after a moment they drew their swords and began to confront each other.
The situation at the scene took a turn for the worse.
"Someone come here," Fulin was furious.
The imperial city is his territory, and using force here would be tantamount to slapping him in the face.
He had been beaten once by Li Dingguo.
I don't want to be beaten by my own people again.
Following Fulin's order, more than a hundred guards surrounded him with knives.
More guards continued to run from afar and joined the team.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of guards gathered at the scene.
"Surround this place, and no one is allowed to leave without my order!" Fulin ordered with a cold face.
"Hey!" The guards took out their weapons and blocked the palace gate.
Jirgalang first asked a guard in a low voice, and after receiving the reply, he smiled calmly: "I'm afraid the emperor can't stop me."
Fulin stretched out his trembling right hand and pointed at Jirgalang: "You... you dare to disobey my order?"
"I am not disobeying your order, I am protecting myself."
"I want to see how you can protect yourself!" Fulin raised his right hand high, ready to order the arrest.
Just as his right hand was about to fall, a eunuch and an Eight Banners soldier hurried to Fulin's side: "Your Majesty, there is a change outside the city!"
"What happened outside the city?" Fulin asked hurriedly.
"The Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner suddenly gathered at the South Gate, and seemed to be about to...enter the city."
"What?" Fulin was shocked at first, then he figured out what was going on.
Jirgalang definitely had more than four spies in the palace.
Before the conflict broke out, Jirgalang sent people outside the city to notify the two blue flags to be prepared.
"Close the city gates quickly and prohibit anyone from entering the city!" Dorgon said quickly after hearing this.
"It's too late," Jirgalang said with a smile, "I have already sent people to take over the defense of the South Gate. The two blue flags can enter the city at any time!"
Fulin was a little bit unbelievable, "Impossible! The defense of Shengjing is the responsibility of the two yellow flags. You can't mobilize them without my order..."
Fulin's words came to an abrupt end.
Jirgalang had already extended his hand into the imperial city, so bribing the generals guarding the city was a piece of cake.
"Jirgalang," Dorgon warned, "even if the two blue flags enter the city, what does it matter? You should know that there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the two yellow flags in the city."
"Haha," Jirgalang sneered, "Are you sure that these more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Yellow Flag will obey your orders?"
While talking.
Among the hundreds of guards at the scene, dozens of them walked towards Jirgalang and protected him in the middle.
"There are still tens of thousands of Eight Banners outside the city! Your two blue flags plus part of the two yellow flags, no matter how good you are at fighting, you can't beat the other four flags, right?" Dorgon spoke with less and less confidence.
Jirgalang became even more unscrupulous: "Two red flags are stationed fifteen miles south of the city. When they arrive, my people will have already entered the city and closed the city gates."
"Although the two white flags are just outside the city, their generals are all in the city mourning for Duoduo. Without the command of their generals, the two white flags would have difficulty in gathering their troops, let alone fighting."
